Tezaa 2.0

So, you know, I am like this born again Christian. I’ve become a Web2.0 (With due apologies to Sir Tim) fanatic and evangelist. I pray for deliverance of those crappy corporate websites. I baptise newly born blogs. I train missionaries who will spread the word of our lord, Ajax.

One of the first W2 sites I came across, was Tezaa. In fact, not too long ago, (in the Cosmic sense) I wrote about Tezaa on this blog. Since then, I’ve been in GChat-touch with Shalin Jain, who runs Tezaa, along with a bunch of super cool techies.
He told me today that Tezaa’s went through a ‘pull-up-the-pant-tighten-the-screws-add-new-features’ phase recently. And the New Tezaa is ready to take on the world.
Here’s what’s new about the all new Tezaa.

• New design. Great stuff, this design is. Simple, cool colours, and easy navigation. The tabs make for a great way to switch from section to feature to polls in the site


• Open ended questions – Wow! So, if I don’t have an answer, but just a question, I can ask the Tezaa community and they will give me all that I need to know.


• Related polls – It definitely rocks. For, when I click next poll on – say a poll on where to eat out in Chennai – it throws up another poll about Chennai.


• Related Links – as Amit puts it – this definitely makes great sense.


• Navigation – Tezaa remembers where I was last – er – let me put it so it doesn’t sound big-brother-ish. Let’s say you are in the ‘Open Questions’ tab, see a poll you like, click away. Make your choice, add new links and then click the home button (the newly redesigned logo), the site navigates back to the Open Questions tab. This is, I thought, a sensible idea.


• The Community – I can add friends (and their tags and stuff) – which means – yeah – greater interaction, related polls etc.

Shalin tells me that even more cool, and fantastic features are on the way. So yay!
